23. There are dreams at night
Yan Li sat down, and Gu Haiyuan also sat opposite, still indignant: "This kid who loves to toss, he can escape from that place, it's not because of the Kunzhou built by Lao Tzu, why did he set up a banquet when he came?"
Ba Jin ignored it, and said to a young man: "Tell me to go down and have a banquet." ”
Qingzhuang immediately shouted: "Open a feast!"
When he boarded, there was a burst of gongs and drumming suona, and from one of the rooms that looked like a house, there were trays of women walking out one after another, and there were all kinds of dishes on the plates, some of which Yan Li had never seen before.
Ba Jin sat next to Yan Li and said enthusiastically to Yan Li: "Brother, come and taste the osmanthus brew made by my Lao Ba himself." As he spoke, he slapped open a jar of wine and poured it into Yanli's bowl. "My brother and sister drink it too. He stood up again and poured a bowl for Li Xiangjun.
Li Xiangjun's face turned red again, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to raise it.
"What about Lao Tzu?" Gu Haiyuan slammed the table.
Ba Jin's face immediately pale, and he pushed the wine jar over with one hand: "Lao Tzu, I only have one hand, it's good if I didn't let you pour it for me, it's so long-winded, no wonder I'm still single at this age." ”
"The two of you know?" Yan Li was surprised, Gu Haiyuan was the guest of honor of the Nine Great Dao Sect.
Ba Jin laughed, pointed to Gu Haiyuan and said: "This old boy, I used to live next door to my house, we didn't deal with each other since we were young, and we didn't like each other, and then he was taken away by Yu Shenji, and we lost contact for a while, until Yu Shenji died, I didn't know that this old boy was actually Yu Shenji's disciple." ”
"Shut up, who asked you to call me by my teacher's name!" Gu Haiyuan took chopsticks to hit Ba Jin, looking very irritable.
"Hahaha, you're good at it, but I can handle ten of you with one finger, and you want to do it with me?" Barjin laughed loudly.
Gu Haiyuan seemed to realize the gap in strength, so he poured his own wine, took a sip, and narrowed his eyes as if enjoying: "Well, yes, there are three points of grandma's craftsmanship." He recalled that decades ago, he and Ba Jin secretly drank the osmanthus brew of the grandmother next door, but they fell to the ground drunk, and was caught by the grandmother and beaten by the grandmother's son.
"Later, the family died under the tide of beasts. Ba Jin said with a sigh.
"It's hard to look back on the past, let's have a drink. Yan Li raised the bowl.
The two of them raised and drank heroically.
Ba Jin finished drinking, picked up the chopsticks and greeted: "Brother Yan, you and your younger siblings don't be polite to Lao Ba and me, eat." ”
"Bh. Li Xiangjun responded in a low voice, peeking at Yan Li, and his face turned red again.
The child did not have a big appetite, and after eating for a short time, he ran around to play, and Ba Jin instructed the treasury to take out fireworks and firecrackers for the children to play, adding to the lively atmosphere.
In the second half of the night, the crowd basically dispersed, Ba Jin was drunk on the case, and was helped back to the room to sleep, Li Xiangjun was tossed by Yan Li for a day, and he was already exhausted, so he also went back to the room to rest, leaving Yan Li to sit opposite Gu Haiyuan and drink.
Several women in charge of picking up came over and carefully saluted the two: "Master Gu, Yan Daxia, do you two want to drink it, you don't need to carry some more wine." ”
"No, you can clean up. Gu Haiyuan stood up and walked outside the Zhuangzi.
Yan Li followed and went to a small stream outside the village. Gu Haiyuan found a stone
Sit down, as if full of thoughts.
"Thank you, Dad. Yan Li broke the silence.
Gu Haiyuan knew that Yan Li was thanking for saving his life, and smiled reluctantly: "You kid, you usually don't respect the old man and me, and often do things to me, but fortunately, my life is big." For your sake's sake, I accept it. ”
Yan Li said: "Daddy brought me here, do you have something to say?"
Gu Haiyuan said: "Do you remember what you gave me to do?" said and handed a box to Yan Li, Yan Li caught it, opened it, and couldn't help but feel creepy. Inside the box was a bead the size of a dragon's eye, black and brown, with a deep mark inside, a vast and simple atmosphere, like the closed eyes of an ancient desolate beast, and like the entrance to the abyss.
It seemed to have a terrible power, Yan Li saw it, and felt a fatal crisis, and the more he looked at it, the more unbearable it became, so he hurriedly put it away. "What is this?"
"The Seed of the Origin. Gu Haiyuan said lightly, "You give me a year, I only completed the analysis three years ago." It's so complicated, so complicated that it makes me start to wonder the truth of this world. ”
"What truth?" Yan Li covered the box, knowing that this box had a powerful power of sealing, sealing the breath of the Origin Seed.
"Bingjian told you, I was once invited to analyze the talisman on the altar of the Fengtian Sect. Gu Haiyuan stared at the stream, as if there was something in the water that attracted him firmly. "Those talismans are of the same origin as the seed of the origin...... as if he thought of something terrible, and a terrible chill enveloped him, "the truth of this world......" He gritted his teeth, suddenly screamed in pain, and fell to the other side of the stone.
"Daddy!" Yan Li was shocked, and hurriedly went to help Gu Haiyuan up and sit back on the stone, "What's the matter, why is your body so cold?" He controlled the sword soul, transformed it into true qi, and injected it into Gu Haiyuan's body to dispel these chills.
"Sure enough...... Still can't say!" Gu Haiyuan smiled bitterly. "But there is one thing I can tell you: the stronger the cultivation, the easier it is to be killed by the Origin Seed. ”
"You craftsmen like to say things that don't make sense. Yan Lidao.
Gu Haiyuan's face changed, and he grabbed Yan Li and said, "Have you heard others say, who said that, when, and where?"
"It's Yu Shenji. Yan Li sat down and slowly recalled, "That was when I first entered the Jixia School Palace, and there was a trial...... In that illusion, I met your teacher, Yu Shenji, who claimed to be a consciousness left in the illusion, but I felt that he was very real...... It was then that he said to me something similar to yours, I don't remember the specifics, and one of them was like this: The world has a will of its own. ”
Yu Shenji's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he said incoherently: "It turns out that the teacher has already broken it, but someone killed him, which means that the teacher is not the only one who knows the truth...... They are trying to cover up the truth...... I have been looking for the drawings of the God Cannon for so many years, just to prove the innocence of the teacher, but I didn't expect it to be all useless...... The teacher's death has nothing to do with the divine artillery......"
"What the hell is the truth, and who are they?" Yan Li had never understood what Gu Haiyuan had been looking for all these years, and at this moment he heard some clues.
Gu Haiyuan was excited for a long time, and finally calmed down, and said dejectedly: "Back then, someone accused the teacher of defecting to the demon clan, and the Tiangong furnace was tragically destroyed, and only Liu Xingfeng and I escaped. Later, Liu Xingfeng took refuge in the demon clan,
developed various war weapons for the demon lord, some people said that it was Liu Xingfeng himself who betrayed and had nothing to do with the teacher, but it was not recognized, and the teacher has always been burdened with the stigma of colluding with the demons...... I finally know now that the teacher's death was due to the terrible truth, and those people were afraid that leaking it would lead to the collapse of the original system and the order of the Three Realms would be wiped out overnight......
Their identities seem to be revealed, and only those who maintain order will fear the collapse of order. But Gu Haiyuan never told Yan Li what the so-called truth was. Maybe it would be a kind of happiness to not know anything.
Yan Li considered that Gu Haiyuan's mental state was not good, so he didn't mention the matter of leaving the cliff and sent him back to the room to rest, while he himself came to Li Xiangjun's room under the guidance of the guards. Pushing the door in, the room was dark, Li Xiangjun only wore a piece of tulle, and lay on his side on the inside of the couch, as if he deliberately left a space to wait for Yan Li's arrival.
Yan Li closed the door, took off his shoes and socks and lay down, looking at Li Xiangjun Although sweet, he still couldn't hide his tired appearance, he thought of the madness of the day, Li Hong's makeup might not be able to bear it, not to mention that Li Xiangjun's new melon was broken, and he was very sorry in his heart, so he didn't want to wake her up and maintained a posture.
Li Xiangjun Xu was so tired that he forgot to restrain the strange fragrance emitted by his physique, making Yan Li feel like he was in a sea of flowers, smelling and smelling, his consciousness seemed to enter another space. He saw a dilapidated ruin, where a tall, thin man stood, slowly turning his back.
"Yu Shenji!" Yan Li said in surprise.
Yu Shenji didn't seem to see Yan Li, and muttered, "The truth of this world...... Ah......h
The dilapidated space changed dramatically, and as soon as Yan Li saw Gu Haiyuan standing on the edge of a cliff, he couldn't help but think: Didn't I already send him back to the room to rest?
"Daddy, it's dangerous there, come back!" he shouted.
Gu Haiyuan turned his head and smiled at Yan Li: "The truth of this world...... Ah......h
"Daddy!" Yan Li opened his eyes suddenly, only to feel that he was suddenly dazzling, and he couldn't help but block it with his hand.
It's a dream!
Yan Li wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and found that the sky was already bright, the pillow was empty, and the strange fragrance only had a faint aftertaste. A footstep sounded, and his heart suddenly tightened like a rope.
"Childe woke up. Li Xiangjun walked in with a basin of water, saw that Yan Li had woken up, and said happily, "The owner of Lao Ba said that he made some rice cakes and asked us to go over and taste them." As he spoke, he wrung out the face towel from the basin, sat on the couch, and gently and meticulously wiped Yan Li's face.
Yan Li breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and grabbed Li Xiangjun's hand, snatched the face towel, and wiped it lightly on her face.
Li Xiangjun's face was slightly red: "Childe, let me serve you." ”
Yan Li's index finger moved, he lost his face scarf, and was about to break it, when another hurried footstep came quickly, and his heart was lifted again, so he listened attentively.
"Oh no, Yan Daxia, Master Gu died in the room, and the owner of the village asked me to inform you to hurry over!"
Yan Li Huo Ran stood up, his face was already pale.
